The ascendancy of football to "the only college sport that really, actually matters" certainly is a loss for all sports... but the relegation of college basketball from 1B status to second tier feels like a profound loss.

It is extremely frustrating that everything moderate and regional and good must necessarily be consumed by Sell More Cars slash Finance More Cars slash Sell More Car Insurance. Godspeed in 2026

People have been leveling that like it’s a threat every year for 25 years, and everybody that grew up in NC prays it’ll come true

Inshallah

I miss true round robin basketball seasons, man. My ideal conference size is like 7 or 8. It’s very good for college athletics’ bottom lines that I am not in charge.

>>given the level of understanding by our ACC counterparts

It is clearly difficult to understand competing perspectives when you are operating from the dead nut center of the Ptolemaic Universe in South Bend

Re: "2 CFP bids" there was no way Duke was in the conversation. It was Miami or bust. Notre Dame was the obstacle to that. You can call them an "important partner," but they are (by choice) not a football member of the conference. Important partnerships only go so far. I'm Team Severance.

Thank you. Would have like ND over Bama but the End Of Conference Championships proved an effective deterrent. Now that ND is having a hissy fit aimed in the ACC's direction, I can't help but hope ties are cut and this embarrassing "every sport except football" arrangement draws to a close

Cool man have a good offseason

Oh, well there you go. A Miami washout nets $4MM, a Miami Cinderella run nets up to $20MM, Notre Dame doesn't make the conference money. I'm surprised they weren't flying airplanes past voters' houses towing a banner with the Miami-ND final score

I don't know how the money works so I ask this with some humility: does the ACC make more money from a theoretical ND national championship or a Miami first-round exit? On an immediate monetary basis, not "prestige for the other sports ND competes in."

It feels like they're piping it in at this point. Like when the V6 Mustang plays engine noise through the stereo, just to get the juices flowing

If there had been another verse, one of them would have climbed, fully nude, into one of the washing machines. As an unspoken sexy dare of course

Edit: dang

Dandycats not gonna be denied tonight at home

Super pissed to find out Walt was NOT a ghost the whole time

“No-nonsense woodshop teacher” It’s as if they are seeking the approval of someone else’s (more potent) dad

For your consideration: backgammon. Skill, gambling, luck, shit talking
